Update from New York City: Lessons learned from the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic

 

As part of our ongoing series of COVID-19 related episodes, we interview several New York City vascular surgeons to see what lessons can be gleaned from their experiences during the first few weeks of the pandemic. We discuss such topics as call coverage, redeployment, setting up a line service, and protecting ourselves from infection while caring for the COVID-19 patient. We also get some insight into how to take care of our own well-being, and what people have found uplifting during these difficult times.
